Why drive to work when you can arrive in your own pedal-powered pod car, far above traffic? That's the vision of a Canadian company called Shweeb, which hopes to soon begin installing what it calls the "most sustainable form of public transit" in cities around the world.
Hanging from rails up to 80 feet above the street, the Skysmart system uses a series of personal pods that run on either solar power or pedaling from the passengers inside. Unlike a train or bus, users can hop on immediately without waiting on a platform.
